Week3

so it's the saturday after the end of week3 of my new job. there have been some pleasant changes since last week. i got a macbook and ipod last weekend and on friday (yesterday) i got my first paycheck. i was quite satisfied to see the extra numbers in my bank account :)

not much new has gone on at work. it seems just the usual 'running around with your head cut off' kind of business stuff, but to their credit, they seem receptive to good ideas of how to solve their problems and do want to get them solved. i don't mind implementing any of the solutions that have come up, so that is good.

it's just your typical kind of stuff where processes were informal because they were a small company but now that their profile, workforce, and workload is increasing they are finding they don't have time to chitchat thier way thru problems and spin the wheels for weeks on end to resolved a small number of sample problems.

it's good for them to feel this pain right now, everyone seems to have the bug in thier butt about trying to regularize group contacts and define/smooth processes.

so anyway, it's good stuff. i get to fiddle with the database more and now i'll get to fiddle with MS access...*puke* It will be fun to mess around with some analysis software though and get some QA pipelines worked up.

that's it for now. we had horrible rain here for about 2 weeks and it's finally back to normal. 82F 54% humidity, clear sky.
